Nanoscale Lithography and Thermometry with Thermal Scanning Probes

Samuel Tobias Howell

Thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) is an advanced lithography technique in which a heated atomic force microscope tip locally modifies a sample material. Due to the nanometer-sized tip apex diameter, t-SPL enables patterning of sub-10 nm structures ...

Thermomechanical Nanocutting of 2D Materials

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Xia Liu, Ana Conde Rubio, Samuel Tobias Howell

Atomically thin materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, are promising candidates for future applications in micro/nanodevices and systems. For most applications, functional nanostructures have to be patterned by lithography. Devel ...

Thermomechanical Nanostraining of Two-Dimensional Materials

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Xia Liu, Ana Conde Rubio, Samuel Tobias Howell

Local bandgap tuning in two-dimensional (2D) materials is of significant importance for electronic and optoelectronic devices but achieving controllable and reproducible strain engineering at the nanoscale remains a challenge. Here, we report on thermomech ...

Thermal scanning probe lithography-a review

Jürgen Brugger, Samuel Tobias Howell

Fundamental aspects and state-of-the-art results of thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) are reviewed here. t-SPL is an emerging direct-write nanolithography method with many unique properties which enable original or improved nano-patterning in appl ...

Method for patterning a thin film of a solid material

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Xia Liu, Ana Conde Rubio, Samuel Tobias Howell

A method for patterning a thin film of (a) solid material(s), comprising the steps of providing a thin film of said solid material(s) onto a substrate, said substrate being deformable by heat and indentation; and performing a thermo-mechanical indentation ...
